@feditips I haven’t heard the desperate cry of “Please RT” since I left that other place. I see “boosts appreciated” going a similar way. Currently it’s all, “here’s this cool thing that will be good for you, me, and the community”, a la Twitter 2007. Soon it will be all, “GIVE ME LIKES FOLLOWS BOOSTS AND LOVE ME I’M INSECURE AND NEED YOUR VALIDATION”, a la Twitter 2022.
